Step by Step Guide:
1) Front-End Implementation: Installing the Storefronts on your site
This process is setting up the front-end of the storefront. It involves creating a new page on the eCommerce site, installing our Javascript SDK, installing the web-components, and then customizing them.
Note: You will not be able to completely test these pages until steps 2 and 3 are complete.
2) Product Feed

To enable the storefront to display the products on. the website and for the creators to pick them, we need a complete product feed. This should be updated as often as products and/or prices are updated.
It is critical to make sure this product feed is accurate, exhaustive, and up-to-date or the creators will not have access to accurate information.
3) LoudCrowd App Configuration
To make data accessible to the storefront, a user must log into the LoudCrowd app and configure the settings to enable data to pass to the front-end.
Data Model
4) LoudCrowd Attribution:
LoudCrowd needs order and returns data to attribute orders to specific creators and calculate commissions. Data is most commonly shared using LoudCrowd Events API, and several alternate methods are also available.
There are many variations of how to implement LoudCrowd and send files based on eCommerce requirements, but completing these four steps will give you the ability to launch a program.
5) Integrate with Affiliate Network
Alternatively - you can integrate LoudCrowd with your affiliate network to measure attribution. Contact your LoudCrowd partner for specific documentation for each affiliate network.
